Lisa Haukom, host of the Golden Brand Podcast, dives into the common fear of visibility that many entrepreneurs and creators experience, especially those with a carefully curated online presence. She shares her personal journey of overcoming this obstacle and offers practical tips to help you confidently create content in public spaces.

Key Takeaways & Action Steps:

• Bring a Friend: Don't go it alone! Invite a supportive and fun-loving friend to help you feel comfortable and capture those perfect shots.
• Start Small & Familiar: Begin in a comfortable environment like your favorite coffee shop, where friendly faces and familiar surroundings can ease any anxieties.
• Gear Up: Use a tripod and self-timer for stability and control. Lisa recommends the Lens Buddy app or a Bluetooth remote shutter.
• Practice Makes Perfect: Start with prompts or inspiration from other creators, and gradually build your confidence.
• Embrace the Awkwardness: It's okay to feel silly at first! Have fun with it and let your personality shine through.
• Don't Worry About the Haters: Most people are supportive and encouraging. Focus on creating content that feels authentic to you.
• Play with Movement: Small, intentional movements can add visual interest without being overwhelming. Think sipping coffee, adjusting sunglasses, or playfully interacting with your surroundings.
• Tell a Story: Give your content a narrative arc. What are you doing? Where are you going? What are you feeling?
• Interact with Your Environment: Lean against a wall, sit on a bench, or bring a prop to create a sense of ease and naturalness.
• Remember, Confidence is Buildable: Each time you step in front of the camera, you're building confidence and owning your space.
